Bank of England security alert was false alarm

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- The suspect vehicle near the Bank of England on Thursday turned out to be a false alarm, the U.K. central bank said on its website. Earlier in the day, BOE staff were evacuated to safe areas within the bank's premises as the police investigated a suspect vehicle nearby. The surrounding roads and Bank subway station were also closed. Around lunchtime, however, the police confirmed that the incident was over, according to the BOE.
